So I was watching the CCP Fanfest about the economy and while I was checking the prices of plex, it just went up from 590mil to 610mil

When will this madness end? Shocked

20 million could very probably just be a market fluctuation.

Relax.

Chill.

It's coming up to xmass.

People have less money to spend on buying time cards\plex's to sell for isk.

People have less money to spend on game subscriptions.

More people want PLEX's

Less Plex's to go around

More demand than supply

Price rises.

It's almost like it's some kind of player driven economy or something

Except that PLEX has been steadily rising in price in the last year and half.

2.5% is nothing out of the norm for daily fluctuation.

PLEX has been just around 600 for awhile now, not moving much even though minerals shot up about 10-15% across the board. Also ther'es a sell order up @ 608mil with 108 units, so I think it will be awhile before PLEX hits that 610 that you claim it has already hit.

Still too cheap to invest.

Don't be scared, because being afk is not a crime.

Rising prices reflect pretty much the player's demand and supply. No magic here.

So PLEX's have become steadily more popular over the past year as CCP have been advertising and pushing them?

Yes, which is my way of saying that i don't think the holidays make it fluctuate that much. PLEX prices rose steadily from 420m to 510m between october 2011 and february 2012, and kept on rising to its current levels.

Also a lot of EVE players are single or un-married men who have jobs, so they don't have much spending to do on christimas time. On the contrary, actually.

Or the vets are coming back because they see actual ships in space, but no more newbies are trying the game than before. Guess...

By all means enlighten me, Jughead.

Are we talking about Game economics or world economics?

- Make ISK to play game
- Make ISK to pay for game

Second option means I am grinding my guts out to be game poor

World Economics

- play a sub based MMO to pay for a sub based MMO because I can't afford to pay, be poor in game.
- Play one of a million free ones, not be poor in game, have more fun. Wait until things pick up.

or were you just trolling me because it's what your Goon Master told you to do?
